MY COLUMN: What Nevada pols (and a few others) will give thanks for Thursday

If you think I’m good at predicting election outcomes, I’m just as prescient when it comes to what certain Nevada luminaries (some anthropomorphism required) will give thanks for over their turkeys on Thursday:

►Rep.-elect Dina Titus: Shelley Berkley’s decision to run for Senate. Ruben Kihuen’s fear. A seat for life.

►Rep. Joe Heck: John Oceguera’s commitment to physical fitness and pension collection. That the Democrats didn’t pay much attention to CD3. That there aren’t enough women in the district who believe he causes cervical cancer.

►Rep. Mark Amodei: A seat for life. Mining. The rurals.

►Gov. Brian Sandoval: That the Democrats control the Legislature so he can have some handy foils again. Scary approval ratings. That it’s always sunny in Carson City.

►Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki: That the Legislature will convene soon so he has something to do.

►Secretary of State Ross Miller: That Glenn Cook didn’t find more than two non-citizens who voted.

►Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto: For big banks and how they treat homeowners.

►Treasurer Kate Marshall: That Ross Miller is term-limited and running for AG.
